One common mistake when learning about the cognitive functions is equating feeling with morality and thinking with intelligence. Morality and intelligence are products of a Self, not the mental wiring of the personality itself.
Have you ever met a person who swore they were an “empath” and always act “nice” on the surface, but in reality they are self-absorbed, unreliable, lack integrity, and do not add any real value to the people around them? This is overinflated feeling, which is anything but moral.
These people are so obsessed with being seen as the "good guy" that their own self-image and identity trumps the world around them. They may need to play the savior role, or the victim role in sitations. Anything that gets them sympathy.
What about the person who was so obsessed with being “right” that they’re always telling others to “fuck your feelings” and focus on the facts? These people are often so ego-obsessed with truth that they’re able to rationalize literally anything to themselves.
They’re unable to listen to anyone else’s perspective that challenges theirs, do not see the emotional impact of their way of getting things done, and their opinions lack cultural and interpersonal nuance. This isn’t intelligence. That’s overinflated thinking.
